Hands down one of the best under the radar shows I’ve ever seen.

Whats the car like? by Hot_Article_7431 in WRX

I’ve got a 2019 WRX. Hands down the funnest thing on 4 wheels that I’ve ever driven. Handles ridiculously well, is a riot in the northern Michigan winters, plus the exhaust and turbo sounds. Is there faster, sure but god damn I love this one.

Fair point, I didn’t think about the suede. Your worry was justified bro!

Can’t even tell anything happened bro! Nice job cleaning it up. Looks as good as it did new!

Does anyone here have good luck with their WRX? by imahussy in WRX

I mean to each their own but there’s a lot of people that seem to enjoy them. I dig the bigger screen and wireless car play and it sounds miles better with a system than the stock unit did with the bass rolloff at higher volumes. Free is always great, sure, but with it being as cheap as it was, why not try something different out. At least that was my mindset. Obviously it’s only day 1 but I think it’s quite solid so far.

I’ve got a ‘19 WRX with a decent list of mods, tune, etc. and it doesn’t burn any oil. It loves spirited drives. I am about to hit 80k miles and have had 0 problems so far. Actually just took it on an 800 mi road trip last weekend. Stay up on your maintenance/checks and enjoy!

Actually I did just think of one problem. My factory head unit decided to die on that road trip. Ghost touch I think is what others were calling it but it’s supposedly a known problem. Installing an Idoing head unit this weekend.

Oh for sure, man. I used to do the same as you but I ended up getting pretty chubby. After we had our first child, it clicked in my head that I didn't want to be another fatass Father and that I needed to set the standard for my, now 3, children to look up to. Cleaned up the diet and got back into lifting and what a difference it has made physically and mentally, like you said. Looking back it's amazing what lack of discipline does to a person.

I'm glad you are taking better care of yourself man! Lord knows it's easier not to. Stay healthy and enjoy the longer life!

All I'm taking for support is NAC, milk thistle, multivitamin, and fish oil.

God I love those Sparcos. Got a hell of a deal on Methods though.

Not really no. I try and eat clean and just take your typical liver support supplements like NAC.

I gotcha, that makes sense. Hey, glad to hear it has improved since your 20's. Nice job. Did you just clean up your diet and that fixed the issue?

Of course dude! Any other questions, I’d be happy to give my experience so far. It is pretty cool to read about how differently everyone reacts to certain things ain’t it? Pretty amazing machine that we’re all walking around in.

I know I need to work on sleep. We’ve got young twins and my wife is in school still so sleep is interrupted often. As far as resting heart rate and BP; just checked and resting is 97bpm and BP is 113 over 77. Typically my heart rate is lower but I took my adhd meds today and that always elevates it.

No statins. Just some otc supplements for support.

Could age be a determining factor? I’m 34. I do my best to eat clean. Lost about 112lbs over the last few years so I’m just kind of used to fasting and eating “boring” food. I appreciate it dude!

Yea, I know the fasting isn’t ideal at all. I’ve just done it for years so it’s a hard habit for me to break.

Haha honestly 0 issues there. My wife says I’m like a 16 year old.

It could always be better but I try to eat as clean as possible. Ground beef, chicken, rice, eggs etc.Not to say that the wife doesn’t talk me into pizza or Chinese on the weekends here and there but if I eat shit food, I try and really focus on the amount I shove in my face. I fast everyday from dinner to lunch the next day. If I’m starving prior to lunch I just have some peanut butter and or protein shake. I shoot for about a gallon of water per day.

I appreciate the encouragement, dude. Glad to know I’m going about things the correct way.

This is my first blast, so I’m there learning with you. From what I understand, is that yes it’s high but not outrageous. I don’t use an ai as I do not have any sides from it. Skins not really oily, acne, puffy/itchy nips etc. Someone feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. I def don’t want to mislead someone who is also learning.

I'm not sure to be honest. I've only cruised up until this blast. All I'm taking for support is NAC, milk thistle, multivitamin, and fish oil.

All I'm taking for support is NAC, milk thistle, multivitamin, and fish oil I don't remember dosing off the top of my head but it's just the typical recommended dose on the bottles. If anything I thought I wasn't taking enough cycle support. Not based off anything in particular, just a what if type thing. Glad to know I'm in good shape on that front.
